Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] patch to allow for field definitions after initialization

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

From: Matthijs Melchior <mmelchior@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 23:47:33 +0200
Here is a patch to enable dissectors to register fields from
preferences dialogues, after initialization of the main ethereal
system. Of course, fields defined in this way will not end up in
the manual pages....

I have rearranged 'proto_init()' somewhat, and moved the code to
build the field name tree to 'proto_register_field_init()'.

Having done this, it brought to light some serious mis behavior
of the gtk2 code to construct the field name list in routine
'dfilter_expr_dlg_new()'.  To solve the problem, I have created
an new iterator to enumerate the fields for a particular protocol.
Using this, the code in 'dfilter_expr_dlg_new()' has become much
nicer!
It now shows the same protocol name as with gtk1, the short_name.



While testing the above [and looking for "asn" in the output of -G],
I found the following:

P       Packet Encoding Rules (ASN.1 X.691)     per

This is a serious typo, the P in PER does not refer to a packet,
it refers to the small number of bits: packed

Patch to correct it is attached.


Thanks for applying the patches.
